Republicans on Capitol Hill are surprised and “confounded” that the leader of their party, President Trump, sided with top Democrats in the debt ceiling debate this week, hiking it for three months.
He even earned a bit of rare praise from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
…
Trump, hearing the criticism, immediately pounced on the opportunity to send this reminder.
Republicans, sorry, but I’ve been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn’t happen! Even worse, the Senate Filibuster Rule will….

…never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control – will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!

In other words (those that can’t fit in a tweet), if Republicans failed so miserably in regards to health care – something they’ve been screaming about for seven years – how can they be trusted to enact meaningful tax reform and rein in our debt?
